GLENCOE, Ill. --

Police officers in one North Shore community are investigating their first bank robbery in 25 years. The robbery took place at the Chase Bank branch along Green Bay Road in Glencoe just around closing time Thursday night.

The suspect told two bank employees he had a gun and tied them up. After he ran away with the money, the employees managed to break free and call police.

A search is under way for the suspect, and police were working on a description.
